What studies of the binding study advice found
A summary of four Dutch studies of the binding study advice (BSA), the first-year academic dismissal rule used in Dutch higher education. It sets out each study's design and main finding, for quality officers and programme directors reviewing a BSA policy. Read together, the studies show the policy brings dropout forward rather than reducing it. Koji can help a programme hear how first-year students and students who leave experience the policy.
